Ashcroft may face prison over 9/11 cover-up, says Daniel Ellsberg

excerpt:
Ellsberg says that if Edmonds' allegations are confirmed, the current Attorney General could be judged obstructive and share the fate of A.G. John Mitchell --who in Ellsberg v. Mitchell famously tried to squelch Ellsberg's 1971 revelations, and served prison time over the affair.

"John Ashcroft may well sleep eventually in the same cell as John Mitchell," Ellsberg said.

In a recent interview with BreakFornews.com, Sibel Edmonds alleged that the US State Department had blocked investigations showing links between criminal drug trafficking networks and the terror attacks on 9/11.

"Certain investigations were being quashed, let's say per State Department's request, because it would have affected certain foreign relations affected certain business relations with foreign organizations," she said. (Interview - 4:00 min.)

Edmonds also indicated that the FBI's intelligence translation service had been penetrated by a criminal, semi-legitimate intelligence group --not linked to any government. Her measured words hinted at politically explosive connections between non-terrorist criminal networks and the 9/11 attacks.

Since October, 2002 Edmonds has been bound by provisional gag orders while awaiting an opportunity for a full hearing and a definitive ruling. The recent moves in the case arose from a government bid to exclude her testimony from a class action lawsuit by families of 9/11 victims.

1. Good....
...John Ashcroft needs to sleep in the same cell as John Mitchell and maybe along side the cells of the numerous other detainees who he has ordered held without charge and legal representation. Can the Patriot Act be invoked on John Asscroft?

3. It very well could be...
and it should. I think Asscrack should be labeled an "enemy combatant".
